July 11

Hiked through the park and past Stehekin Landing. Altogether a mostly uneventful day. My new shoes are excellent I did about 25 miles with no issues except for that nagging arch pain coming on late in the afternoon. The one event worth noting is my SteriPEN is on the fritz. Not looking forward to the days ahead of possibly having to boil water to make it safe for drinking. I was just talking to someone about how everything in my pack has a precise and calculated value, and how there is no spare of anything. I guess I'll see how tomorrow goes...
